Free East Texas Tornado Home Cleanup Hotline

East Texas – From now through May 20, several relief agencies are staffing a free hotline for debris removal and home cleanup after the recent severe weather. This hotline will connect survivors with reputable and vetted relief agencies that will assist in chainsaw work, debris cleanup, and mucking out, as they are able. All services are free, but service is not guaranteed due to the overwhelming need. Survivors needing assistance with home cleanup may call 1-800-451-1954.

Texas VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster) is committed to working with reputable, vetted relief organizations that have come to help. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been qualified as a reputable relief agency and member of VOAD. Their organization is one of many answering phones and fulfilling work orders. Volunteers interested in fulfilling work orders and answering phones can contact their local leaders.
